Persons per squaremile is the average number of inhabitants per squaremile of land area.

These figures are derived by dividing the total number of residents by the number of squaremiles of land area in the specified geographic area.

Land area measurements are originally recorded as whole square meters (to convert square meters to square kilometers, divide by 1,000,000; to convert square kilometers to squaremiles, divide by 2.58999; to convert square meters to squaremiles, divide by 2,589,988).

In mid-October 2000, a seroprevalence survey was conducted of residents of an area of southern Stamford and southeastern Greenwich, Connecticut, with a population of approximately 99,000 persons in a 17.9-square milearea, for a population density of 5,543 persons per squaremile (3).

Population estimates as of July 1, 1998, and town size in squaremiles were obtained from the Connecticut Department of Economic and Community Development (13).

In contrast, the number of dead crows per squaremile peaked in mid-August through mid-September, when the single documented human case of WN virus infection in Connecticut and most of the human cases in 1999 and 2000 in New York and New Jersey occurred (2,17).

A square parcel of land ½ mile on a side is 160 acres, the usual land tract under the Homestead Act in the United States.

This explains its rectangular definition one-chain by one-furlong parcel of land; a long narrow strip of land is more efficient to plough than a square plot, since the plough does not have to be turned so often.

Estimates of county land area were obtained from 1990 land area data; estimates of human population were obtained from 1999 estimates of the U.S. Census Bureau (6).

The peak of 5.9 reported crows per squaremile coincided with press announcements of a possible human WN virus case (later determined to be negative for WN virus) and the first WN virus-positive crow (collected 2 weeks earlier).

The rest of the area with WN virus activity both in 1999 and 2000--the Bronx, the two counties immediately north of New York City (Westchester and Rockland), and the two counties to the east (Nassau and Suffolk)--did not have human WN virus cases in 2000, and the weekly dead crow densities never exceeded 1.0.

According to a new study by Jupiter Research, the average cost of building and maintaining a municipal wireless network is $150,000 per squaremile.

A $100K a squaremile's a lot of money to spend for a city (Philadelphia) that can't educate it's children without the intervention of the state, and talks about closing firehouses on a yearly basis.

On the other side if say 20 people share their $50 a month cable connection to cover that squaremile, that's only $1000 a month...

BEND, Ore. - A recent survey of a bulge that covers about 100 squaremiles near the South Sister indicates the area is still growing, suggesting it could be another volcano in the making or a major shift of molten rock under the center of the Cascade Range.

The magma lake is rising 10 feet each year, under tremendous pressure, and it deforms the Earth's surface as it expands, causing the bulge.

They were hoping to detect any change in its surface using survey equipment accurate to one-sixteenth of an inch for every mile measured.
